That Q&A I promised 2 months ago:

In case you're wondering, Joseph Kony is still free today. His army has shrunk to an estimated 100 members and both Uganda and the US consider him a non threat. No one is looking for him anymore, so basically he got away with 30 years of child torture and war crimes.

Kony sought refuge in Wakanda which is why we cant find him

I really feel for the guy. Sure he was misguided but he spends 10 entire years of his life trying to make a positive change and then gets branded as a greedy money hogging egomaniac. I hope he's doing alright.

2012 was a wild time

He should have recruited 4chan and he would have tracked down Kony in 28 hours and had a drone drop a bomb on him within 32 hours.

"Everyone were up for pretty much anything to stop Kony as long as long as it didn't involve any practical action" This applies so well on so many of these "movements" these days

The "plot" about Angelina Jolie flying off to Uganda and luring Kony to a trap sounds like something straight from South Park. Good god, how can anyone come up with that and be serious about it?

The fact that he broke while watching the Lorax is hilarious to me.

I genuinely feel so bad for him. He's a decent human being who had a mental breakdown overwhelmed by trying to bring about some change.

Psychosis is no joke, there was a very real risk that Jason could have caused DEADLY harm to himself, and the people around him. I appreciate the fact that Internet Historian did not mock this life-threatening medical emergency

"You're probably watching this video 7 years later because of a vague memory about Kony"

I love how down to earth Jason is about the whole issue.

"naturally, questions were raised about his sexual orientation." Is just a nice way to say that 4chan called him gay.

The real winner of this story is the guy who got 30k from TMZ for that video.

It’s 2022, a decade later, and Joseph Kony is still happily roaming the jungles of Africa.

TMZ has zero morals. We've known this for years, but only recently are they finally getting the pushback they deserve for always wanting to film or publicize mental breakdowns. For whatever faults that man had, he didn't deserve his lowest moment to be made public like that. I hope he's doing better now.

Calling it "Kony 2012" makes it sound like a presidential campaign...

“People were up to pretty much anything to stop Kony, as long as it didn’t involve any practical action”

the handbag that says "I heart Kony" is either a galaxy brain counterculture play or someone getting wooshed so hard that they somehow managed to miss what the people who missed the point thought the point was. Absolutely fascinating stuff.
